What a week. Last week was very hectic and things don’t look to be slowing down. I started subbing and doing the Walmart thing, finally, at the same time. It’s pretty much wearing me down. I also moved from my mom’s house to an apartment with my dad and sister. My stress level over money has gone up considerably! But the best part of the whole week was seeing Derek Webb in concert with Caitlin and Danek on Saturday night. I had been looking forward to that for a good while and I was not disappointed. He puts on a really great show.
Anyway, yesterday at work (walmart) one of the bosses brought up the management test issue again. I made the mistake of telling him the exact date I am eligible to retake it. Today, another boss was trying to convince me I wanted to move to apparel and take a department manager’s position for THREE departments. So, next week when it comes time for me to take this test again I know I am going to be ambushed. The thing is, taking that job means no more subbing. But they schedule is great and the pay is better than what I’ve got now. This means I need to decide if it will be worth it in the long run. I KNOW, without a doubt, that when the time comes to start the alternative certification program I am quitting Walmart. But for now, should I just stick out the two jobs and hope I can make it? Or do I let them talk me into taking a dept. manager position?
I am not really any closer in deciding about Kentucky. I have a tendency to say I have “decided” something, even before my heart really knows what it wants. I know I want to be actively involved in missions, full time. But right now I have no idea how to get there….debt free!
Also, I am experiencing something new…and have been over the past few weeks. I am learning that sometimes in relationships, every circumstance is not caused by me. I have a tendency to believe that when things “go wrong” or seem “kinda rocky” that it’s because of something I did or said. The truth is that sometimes there is just bad timing. And that when something difficult or unusual happens in a relationship it doesn’t necessarily mean drama will be involved. I am very good at causing my own drama. So, let’s just say I am very happy to know that it’s not all about me. =)
much love,
